And `Ali عليه السلام used to say: Sacrifice a two year old and up, and purchase it as one sound of ears and eyes.

And face the qibla, and say when you want to slaughter: “By the name of Allah, I have faced my face to the one who created the heavens and the Earth, as a Hanif, as a Muslim, and I am not from the mushrikeen, verily my salat, and my rites, and my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds, Allahumma from You and for You.

And may Allah send benedictions upon Muhammad and upon the people of his house.” Then eat, and feed.

164 – And I asked him about the man who slaughters (in a direction) other than the qibla.
